To Ausubel, meaningful learning is a process in which new information is related to an existing relevant aspect of an individual's knowledge structure. Meaningful learning requires relevance of prior learning and new learning. In the teaching and learning process teachers can facilitate the learners' schema. They should activate the appropriate schema of learners before starting teaching. By meaningfully learning a permanent knowledge is structured. But when the rote of learning is occured knowledge becomes a temporary knowledge.
